A home energy evaluation, like EnerGuide, will measure your home’s overall energy performance and indicate which renovations would save you the most on your energy bill, and show you how your home’s energy performance compares with other homes in your area. As a first step, the evaluation will help you prioritise and make informed decisions on which upgrades to invest in, or help you make a decision on which home to buy.

Now is the time to be thinking about energy savings. Most homes in Canada are leaking energy – and therefore money. These leaks can be plugged by adding insulation and air sealing, which will tame the skyrocketing costs that go along with them.[i]

Homes built in 2009 or earlier are significantly losing energy in their attics and basements. Almost 80% of attics in these older homes are under-insulated by at least R-20 (RSI 3.52), and about 85% of basements are under-insulated by at least R-5 (RSI 0.88).[ii]
